Abstract
A device may receive information identifying a set of tasks to be executed by a microservices application that includes a plurality of microservices. The device may determine an execution time of the set of tasks based on a set of parameters and a model. The set of parameters may include a first parameter that identifies a first number of instances of a first microservice of the plurality of microservices, and a second parameter that identifies a second number of instances of a second microservice of the plurality of microservices. The device may compare the execution time and a threshold. The threshold may be associated with a service level agreement. The device may selectively adjust the first number of instances or the second number of instances based on comparing the execution time and the threshold.
